Found Object Sculpture

These small sculptures range in size from a few inches to about 12 inches. They were made entirely from found and reclaimed objects, including some natural forms such as hair or seeds. The unifying element in these is the idea of nests. Each piece contains a small interior space that is like a nest or the inside of a seed; intimate and hidden. It represents the creation of a space for growth, change, and protection. Since adopting my daughter 3 years ago, this need to create such a space for her has slowly infiltrated my work, leading to the recent making of these 3-dimensional pieces.
